Stickpin - Silver Wound Badge
A Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber (2. Form) 1939 Mitgliednadel. The stickpin lapel variation would be privately purchased for everyday wear. Instituted September 1, 1939, the silver wound badge was awarded to those who were wounded three or four times by hostile action (including air raids), or frostbitten in the line of duty. It is constructed out of a die struck nickel-silver base that has been silver washed. The oval shaped obverse depicts an embossed profile of a mobile swastika, above an M35 pattern helmet, which is again above two crossed broad swords. This all lies on a pebbled field and is surrounded by a laurel leaf and berry wreath which is tied together at the bottom with a bow tie. The fullback reverse features a soldered-on knurled stickpin. Nice detail and silvering. The face measures 5/16 of an inch wide by 3/8 of an inch tall.
